[lace-chat] The Miss Haversham look
Just heard a lady describe her home. She said she likes the Miss Haversham look - lots of dust and cobwebs! Wonder if she's a lacemaker?

[lace-chat] 1st grade teacher
MessageA group of kindergartners were trying very hard to become accustomed to the first grade. The biggest hurdle they faced was that the teacher insisted on NO baby talk! You need to use 'Big People' words, she was always reminding them. She asked Chris what he had done over the weekend? I went to visit my Nana. No, you went to visit your GRANDMOTHER. Use 'Big People' words! She then asked Mitchell what he had done I took a ride on a choo-choo. She said No, you took a ride on a TRAIN. You must remember to use 'Big People' words. She then asked little Alec what he had done? I read a book, he replied. That's WONDERFUL! the teacher said. What book did you read? ... Alec thought real hard about it, then puffed out his chest with great pride, and said, Winnie the SHIT To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace-chat [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

[lace-chat] Secret Pal thank you
To my secret pal in Australia Thank you for the lovely package that arrived today. I will have to keep a tight hold on the address book and pencil case as my DIL loves dolphins and they are so unusual I am sure that she will try to claim them. I will add the handkerchief to the small collection of hankies that I have from various places around the world. I have a photo of my great niece that will be just right for the frame and I think that I will make a mat in tatting with the beautiful aqua thread. The postman had a little trouble with the address as it is no 27, I think that I may have confused you as this was the answer to question 3. I hope that your DH is well on the way to a full recovery. It is not easy to fit everything in when hospital visits take up a large part of the day. I look forward to receiving your packages in the coming months. Thank you so much, I wonder who you are?

[lace-chat] Secret Pal Thank You
Dear Secret Pal, I wasn't expecting a package today, what a surprise! I love the sachet and bag, perfect for pins and tools! The pin box looks lovely with my new roller pillow with dark blue velvet. I was just about to order new book plates, and my honeysuckle is already trying to bloom, so those are fun and timely! The bobbin will be a welcomed addition to a Bedfordshire piece I'm working on that seems too be sucking bobbins off of other projects. You were very thoughtful with this package. I appreciate the treasures, and just past my birthday! Thank you so much, I look forward to learning more about you, as well. Your Pal, Laura Sandison USA - Yahoo! Autos. Looking for a sweet ride?

People will use phrases like he was nice to my mother and I and it flies right past the editor's eagle eye (I've been re-reading 25 years' worth of Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine for the past couple of months and gasping at some of the worst offences). OTOH, every extra u I use (in words like colour) gets corrected by the IOLI Bulletin's Editor (or the proof-reader)...
